We've been all about Google Translate ever since it introduced automatic language detection, but language detection isn't the default, and even then, it could be streamlined. Enter the To English bookmarklet.

To English works in two ways. Either select the specific text you want translated and click the bookmarklet or—if you'd prefer to translate a whole page—select nothing and click the bookmarklet. The text or page will automatically be entered into Google Translate's language detection, and you've got your translations in one simple click.
